assisted in the defeat of theodore roosevelt for temporary chairman of the republican state convention to be held in saratoga next month this complete repudiation came in a remarkable letter from

re sult of the meeting of the committee in the newspapers president Taft further declares that all statements that he desired the defeat of colonel roosevelt or favored the election of vice president sherman were absolutely untrue his letter as made public by mr griscom to-night follows x beverly mass aug 20 1910 my dear mr griscom as you know from your telephone con versations with my office i have steadily refused to admit the pro priety or necessity of the preside.it's replying to newspaper state ments which are not based on any act or authorised word of his and have no sponsor i am entirely willing however to reply categoric ally to your telegram of august 19 which has just arrived and which is as follows " i am informed and believe that several members of the new york republican state committee who voted for vice president sherman over ex-president roosevelt as nominee for state chairman of the state convention were influenced by statements that the vice presi dent's name was presented to defeat colonel roosevelt in accordance with your wish produced a complicated situation " a member of the state committee declared to me before the meet ing that mr sherman's candidacy nad been arranged with you by tele phone the previous day efforts have been made to create an impres sion that you favor a particular candidate for election as state chair man 1 want you to know that the injection of the name of a high member of your administration into a factional conflict has produced a most complicated situation and the absence of any authoritative in formation as to your attitude is seriously misleading many republicans and impairing a movement for progressive party leadership and clean government in this state i know you desire us to have a fair field and hope that this may be made clear to the public the suggestion that i have ever expressed a wish to de feat mr roosevelt for the temporary chairmanship of the con vention or have even taken the slightest step to do so is wholly i never heard mr sherman's name suggested as tem porary chairman of the state convention until i saw in the newspapers of august 16 that he had been selected at the meeting of the committee when you called at my house sat urday evening august 13 you told me that mr roosevelt in tended to go to the convention as a delegate and you suggested incidentally his being made temporary chairman a suggestion in which i acquiesced it did not occur to me that any one would oppose it this was the first time the subject of the tem porary chairmanship was mentioned to me by any one after a full discussion of the xew^'o/k state situation i drafted m james s sherman ccnt.n'-ieci on 6th page ist column

for temporary chairman of the con vention and who was subsequently defeated j by accident or design all of the republican bosses who aided the vice president in defeating colonel roosevelt and who

versations with my office i have steadily refused to admit the pro priety or necessity of the preside.it's replying to newspaper state ments which are not based on any act or authorised word of his and have no sponsor i am entirely willing however to reply categoric ally to your telegram of august 19 which has just arrived and which is as follows " i am informed and believe that several members of the new york republican state committee who voted for vice president sherman over ex-president roosevelt as nominee for state chairman of the state convention were influenced by statements that the vice presi dent's name was presented to defeat colonel roosevelt in accordance with your wish produced a complicated situation " a member of the state committee declared to me before the meet ing that mr sherman's candidacy nad been arranged with you by tele phone the previous day efforts have been made to create an impres sion that you favor a particular candidate for election as state chair man 1 want you to know that the injection of the name of a high member of your administration into a factional conflict has produced a most complicated situation and the absence of any authoritative in formation as to your attitude is seriously misleading many republicans and impairing a movement for progressive party leadership and clean government in this state i know you desire us to have a fair field and hope that this may be made clear to the public the suggestion that i have ever expressed a wish to de feat mr roosevelt for the temporary chairmanship of the con vention or have even taken the slightest step to do so is wholly i never heard mr sherman's name suggested as tem porary chairman of the state convention until i saw in the newspapers of august 16 that he had been selected at the meeting of the committee when you called at my house sat urday evening august 13 you told me that mr roosevelt in tended to go to the convention as a delegate and you suggested incidentally his being made temporary chairman a suggestion in which i acquiesced it did not occur to me that any one would oppose it this was the first time the subject of the tem porary chairmanship was mentioned to me by any one after a full discussion of the xew^'o/k state situation i drafted m james s sherman ccnt.n'-ieci on 6th page ist column
